Answer: the lengths are 20 feet, 23 feet and 37 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shorter side of the triangular deck.

The second side of a triangular deck is 3 feet longer than the shortest​ side. This means that the length of the second side is (x + 3) feet.

The third side is 3 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. This means that the length of the third of the triangle is (2x - 3) feet.

If the perimeter of the deck is 80 ​feet, it means that

x + x + 3 + 2x - 3 = 80

4x = 80

x = 80/4

x = 20

The length of the second side is

20 + 3 = 23 feet

The length of the third side is

20 × 2 - 3 = 40 - 3 = 37 feet

2) For which value of P and W is P + W a rational number? P = 1/(sqrt(3)) And W = 1/(sqrt(6)) 2) P = 1/(sqrt(4)) and w = 1/(sqrt
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

  P = 1/(sqrt(4)) and w = 1/(sqrt(9))

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the roots of perfect squares are rational numbers. 2, 3, 6, and 10 are not perfect squares, so their roots are irrational. Both 4 and 9 are perfect squares, so their roots are rational. The sum of rational numbers is a rational number.

  \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{4}}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{9}}=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{5}{6}\quad\text{a rational number}
